What are the largest manufacturers of solar panels in the US?

We Answered:

FSLR, SPWRA, ESLR are a few.

But bear in mind that foreign-based companies such as STP are considering setting up plants, here.

Emily Said:

Why don't solar power panel manufacturers use their own solar panels to power their factories?

We Answered:

Honestly, it is because solar panels alone are too unreliable (cloudy days, etc.) and WAY too expensive to use and maintain. It would not be economically feasible.

Allan Said:

How do I secure FAFCO solar panel (4x20') to a roof?

Samuel Said:

How much electricity a sq ft of solar panels produce on an average day, and how much the panel costs?

We Answered:

Thick film solar panels can produce roughly 9 to maybe 12 watts per square foot. The thin film ones, which are cheaper to buy, produce far less.

I don't know what your over all plan is here as you have not said. However, if you are talking about producing power for your home, the over all panel costs are only a small part of the over all issues you have to work out.

I'm giving you this information from a local company because I got my system from them. Installed cost for everything typically works out to be around $6 per watt, which makes is a terrible deal... until you start researching what local incentives might exist in your area.

A 4.7 killowatt system will cost you over $25,000. However, with federal, state and especially the local utility rebate of $3.00 per watt, your cost will be down in the $4,000 range. So the first thing for you to do is research what rebates are available in your area.
